[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
I used MAGLDR for first 3 months while using Dungphp's sense 3.0 rom.Then,I switched to cLk. I used Mikhei's Desire HD rom. I had plenty of data drops. Then, I switched Dorimanx Rom. Had it for many months. Didn't experience any problems with Data.Only sometimes had it. Then, when ICS released and it became a little stable. Flashed it. It was the most stable ROM with PPP.

So, data connection stability is dependent on ROM,kernel and most importantly, OPERATOR.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bipinsen:
Just an update for everyone following this thread - since switching to Mag, I've had ZERO data drops. I don't even remember the days of data drops. :D

I am not at all tempted to try cLK 1.5. But I'm most curious to know if anyone who used to have data drops has tried it, and what the results are. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hyrule571:
So has anybody tried cLK 1.5 or newer? Wait, is there any newer than 1.5? So this new cLK thing has RMNet and PPP built-in to it already? So there would be no data drops and it'd be basically like having MAGLDR data? Yes?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
cLK 1.5 is basically just like cLK 1.6.5 DE. It doesn't support RMNET yet. It comes with built-in partitioning and Flashlight.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bacelo:
Hi,

I recently flashed my HD2 with MAGLDR and Energy Android ROM and ran over night with Wifi etc enabled into the barrery issue mentioned above.

So, just to understand this right:

- If the battery is empty there is no "offline"-charge with MAGLDR?!

- When charger plugged in, the phone starts but in my case the ROM does not boot up (stucks with background image and nothing else)

- No blinking LED for charging state

- If this happens (battery -> dead) how can you charge without dropping the battery in an extra charger or swapping it?

Hope someone can give me a short info on this :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jwchips:
After updating to clk 1.5 (which is AWESOME, but does NOT support RMNET) and installing JuiceDefender Ultimate (which now handles my data toggles) data drops are pretty much non-existent. Living in Cornwall I can never be sure if it's clk or just rubbish signal, but I have data in more places now than I did in 1.4.0.1. When I switch to an ICS build, it should get better again.

Being able to partition on-the-fly, charge while off, reboot to recovery and use ROM Manager all outweigh occasionally disconnecting from mobile data.. and the new HBOOT menu makes it look even more like a native Android device.

To answer the guy above me, switch to clk or buy a cheap external battery charger from ebay. Like this one or this one
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bacelo:
Thanks for your answer - i stuck with cLK

May I ask about updating cLK from 1.4 to 1.5:

Can I just put the cLK 1.5 nbh-file in the root of sd and install "on top"

or do I have to do the following steps:

How do i upgrade cLK?

1) Backup your current rom using recovery on cLK.

2) Open toolkit, and choose Wipe (Task29) on the bottom right.

3) Follow instructions and come back to toolkit after completing that.

4) Follow instructions from B. and C.

5) Go to recovery and restore the backup you made.

6) Reboot

Thanks if someone could help :)

What is the difference between clK 1.5 and 1.4?

I'm using magldr, because it is easy. :- )

What are the benefits of clK, except the battery charge?

CLK is good,but it doesn't support WP7,so I need magldr;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvL_1729:
Thanks!

Thanks, that was very useful. I thought about switching to cLK because of the charging while the phone is off, but after having read your post I will surely not move over.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bipinsen:
I briefly switched over to cLK 1.5 and had the same problems. So nothing much has changed for me. Glad you found this helpful!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
My experience with a PPP connection was much the same, I only tried it with one of the first Nand roms and it would not work properly for me. Since then I have always used Magldr and only had data issues when Tmo was the one causing them.

From what I have read PPP generally seems to work well for users outside the US, T-Mobile US does not like PPP as far as I can tell.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
i use clk and have no ppp problems ..but i also use my hd2 on att so that may make a difference
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bipinsen:
Does that mean you're only restricted to 2G speeds? I'm assuming if the iPhone can't be used on T-Mobile on 3G, the opposite should be true also.

If you're limited to 2G, then I think that's the key point. With cLK, when I forced my phone connection to be only 2G, I didn't see many problems either. But then what's the use of having high speed, when I'm gonna break out my 14.4 every time I wanna surf the web? :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gilbertvpuen:
I think if you just stay on magldr when charging would do.

Because I tried doing that after having a battery drain for a few minutes and it gave me a few battery life upon booting.

And on the stuck up upon booting, I think energy rom has a long loading time... or better flash it again..

Sorry, for personal reasons, I don't have much time to update all my mods.

So from now on, I will update mods for stock(AOSP) ROM only.

i know many people say this is useless and meaningless... but i like it because it is very nice for my eyes..:D

so if you don't like this idea, just don't use this. ;)

[Nexus S Android Development] Eclair~:
Yes!! I am so happy someone found a way to do this. While they can be considered completely pointless on a device that already has buttons, I find them really awesome on the Nesus S. Especially after disabling the backlight on the capacitive buttons.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Koush version works great on BM v5. I'll try the restore file out in a bit.

EDIT: I've removed the google search box before but wasn't able to use the screen space where it used to be. Is there any way to activate that space for widgets etc? I would be a nice tweak to add back a little more useable screen space after applying this tweak.

EDIT2: I noticed that widgets placed towards the of the screen will overlap with the google search box now (genie widget or power control widget as an example).

Backlight dimmer is a must. Looks great in the dark.
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Did you change the LCD density to 210?
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
I did not. I was hoping I wouldn't have to. I don't like how things pull in towards the center of the screen too much with dpi that low.

EDIT: I just checked at the it's set to 220. I think it changed to 220 after flashing this mod.
[Nexus S Android Development] Enhanced:
I as well think that on-screen buttons aren't as useless and wasteful as everyone makes it seem. It changes the user experience a little bit for the better while sacrificing a little screen space.

For one, it allows you to access the task switcher without holding the home button. A simple tap and you're good to go. I find myself switching apps a lot more often when I had the button available as oppose to the long-press method.

Secondly, the 3 dots for the menu button allow you to see when the button is available in certain apps/screens. This is important in legacy apps as you don't have to guess if there are more options or not (advance settings for Wi-Fi anyone?).

I think everyone should try it at least for a little bit to see how the experience pans out. If nothing else, it give you a taste of how the Galaxy Nexus works which I assume will be many people's next phone.

For those of you that use it, I used 230dpi as my setting. Anything below that and my bookmark widget blends in with the search bar. Also, like someone said above, disable the soft key lights with Backlight Dimmer using NSTools. Just put it at a low value. If you really want to be fancy, you can change the soft keys to other functions. For example, I edit the /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey to have the Back and Menu button be Vol- and Vol+ respectively while the Search and Home buttons were the equivalent to the power button. This is just some functionality for the buttons so that those of you that don't like reaching up to the physical buttons can have those right at your fingertips.
[Nexus S Android Development] evilisto:
omg :o :o sorry. i changed lcd density to 210 so widget overlapping problem is solved now.
[Nexus S Android Development] batting1000:
NS4g version pls.
[Nexus S Android Development] lcchan1:
How do you go to menu mode (when only used these 3 buttons)?
[Nexus S Android Development] Enhanced:
There are three dots when there is a menu mode available. As for the home screen, go into settings through the notification drop down menu.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Really cool that we can change this so easily. I got the back button to be the power button but I couldn't figure out the volume notation. I tried VOL+ +VOL VOLUP etc.
[Nexus S Android Development] batting1000:
4G version please!!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:
Is it possible to set capacitive button as notification? I kinda like on screen button
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
This is very cool :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] Enhanced:
It's VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN.
[Nexus S Android Development] batting1000:
Do you know how to edit this mod for the NS4G? I want the software buttons but this only works on the 3G
[Nexus S Android Development] kjaved373:
I just took the framework-res.apk from the zip and copied to /system/framework, applied permissions, changed lcd density and works good on my NS4G.

edit: bln works, but you need to go back to nstools and enable everytime the screen turns off.

edit2: actually had my value too low for bln, works for me if it is >1000
[Nexus S Android Development] batting1000:
When I do that I get a boot loop immediately after pasting the apk
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
This mod should not have any effect on bln etc.

You are supposed to flash these zips in recovery.

change button function is not difficult. you can do that by editing /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl

see this image :

but you can't power on using home button...:) (power off is work)
[Nexus S Android Development] SimDroid:
Thanks for fixing the link :) .

Do u know if you can disable the button functions completely by editing the cypress-touchkey?

Okay, the file made for cm9 works perfectly for the AOSP+ ROM , OP please make a note of this in the OP :p

I used the one made for stock and screwed up my phone :p

i think that need kernel level fix but.. you can get same effect by editing cypress-touchkey.kl like this :

thank you :) :) i added it in OP.
[Nexus S Android Development] falconrulz:
This is the first time I'm trying this mod on any of my ICS ROMs, the buttons don't disappear when I watch YouTube videos, any way I can do something to fix that? I'm on my phone and my laptop is dead so searching is way too much hassle...

Edit - No, thank you! :P

Edit2 - I'm an idiot, it works just fine :)

haka ics 14.5

some apps dont work after flashing these on screen buttons .. like lookout security and few others .. does it have to do with the screen resolution or something ?
[Nexus S Android Development] evilisto:
sorry but i don't have any problems with lookout..

in this mod, i modified systemui.apk and framework-res.apk only.

SystemUI.apk : fix search key related things and replace some pngs

framework-res.apk : set nav bar to "true" and adjust bar height..

i'm not sure but i think these changes do not cause some kind of app compatibility problems..

Which one is suitable for CyberGR-MOD?

I saw the ROM is said: CM9+AOKP then firmware is IML74K, so which one should be used?
[Nexus S Android Development] KBanause:
I made these changes on stock ROM with Mat1x Kernel 14.0 but still the "hardware" keys are working.
[Nexus S Android Development] evilisto:
not sure but maybe mod for AOKP will work. but it would be better to make your own...

i tested that on stock iml74k + trinity kernel (at that time) and AOKP build 14 + steve garon's kernel (now) but i can't find any problem... all touch keys(except volume rocker and power button) don't work at all.
[Nexus S Android Development] iucidium:
does it prevent the capacitive buttons from working too?
[Nexus S Android Development] KBanause:
:(

I don't get it to work. They are still alive. And yes, I did a reboot after I edited the file. And yes, it was /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl (see screenshot)

Can you send your file?
[Nexus S Android Development] gardirulez:
Hi.

First of all, thanks for the great mod.

Second, I tried to install it on the AOSP+ ICS rom (fresh install with all the wipes required) with a speedy3 kernel and I experience boot loop.

Any ideas?
[Nexus S Android Development] evilisto:
sure.. i made flashable zip ;)

disable touchkeys : http://www.mediafire.com/?1owwdbcewvn5j7w

restore : http://www.mediafire.com/?3jrb4skrcl4t91w

maybe work well with all ics rom..

sorry but as i said before, i can't make this mod for all roms..

(download all roms(keep up with their updates) just for making this mod is...:o)

it looks like current AOSP+ rom is not compatible with mod for cm9...:(

but making this mod is not difficult. you can find howto in op and all needed things are explained in that post..

Hi there,

great mod !! working as it should and love it. Only thing i wanna ask is, why does it show "android is upgrading" after everyboot ?? Previously before this mod, I've only seen this once, that is when i upgraded from 2.3.6 to Stock 4.0.3

or am i the only one getting this ?

Thanks

Thanks for the file but still the capacitive buttons are active after I flash the disable mod :(

[Nexus S Android Development] miata:
yeah, disabling the capacitive keys doesn't work for me as well both via flashing the files and editing the files. Rebooted after changes as well

on stock ics 4.0.3 + SPEEDY 3 kernel

Ok found the problem, for some reason I have to edit this file "mxt334_ts_input.kl" instead of cypress-touchkey.kl

maybe different builds uses different files ?? mine is a i9023

i suppose so.. mine is i9020 and have no effect with mxt334_ts_input.kl

so.. i made disable touchkey flashable zip again (include cypress-touchkey.kl and mxt334_ts_input.kl) :)

disable touchkey : http://www.mediafire.com/?h8w8q7l9qrqld4i

[Nexus S Android Development] 309041291a:
If I'm playing a game or watching a YouTube video will the on-screen buttons disappear or fade away?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jamalsid:
why not just flash it and try. Just do a nandroid backup first. If it messes up or you don't like it you have the restore zip or the nandroid. Therefore nothing to loose.
[Nexus S Android Development] McDV:
It depends on the app. Generally, if you're using an app that hides the statusbar, the icons are replaced by small, glowing dots, that don't disturb that much.

If you're watching a YouTube-video in full-screen, the buttons completely dissappear and the video plays on the entire screen. You then first have to tap the screen to leave full-screen and get the buttons back.

It's nearly the same as it was in Honeycomb before (on tablets). So, it's working very well.
[Nexus S Android Development] Silico:
How can I disable the lights?
[Nexus S Android Development] iucidium:
With a kernel that supports BLD eg: for CM9 you could use ICUP. Ans set the BLD to 0.
